Evanston Court

The proposed project consists of a 24-unit, multi-family residential development that includes adaptive reuse of the historic Evanston Inn (385 South Marengo Avenue), which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The proposal would rehabilitate the Evanston Inn structure into 10 condominium units and construct three new two-and three-story residential buildings, comprising the remaining 14 units, over a semi-subterranean parking garage.

The rear “carriage house” portion of the Evanston Inn on the western portion of Evanston Place and two single-family houses on the adjacent property to the north (377–379 South Marengo Avenue) would be demolished or relocated to accommodate the development (the applicant is currently advertising the properties for sale and relocation).
